Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly say an abrupt end to Title 42 would increase strain on Arizona border communities. Meanwhile, migrants marched this week in Nogales, Sonora, asking for the policy to end.
1 of 2 Migrants and allies rally in Nogales, Sonora, on the two-year anniversary of Title 42, calling for an end to the public health policy that the U.S. uses to quickly expel migrants from the country, on March 21, 2022.
“Given the impacts that changes to Title 42 could have on border communities, border security, and migrants, we urge your Administration not to make any changes to Title 42 implementation until you are completely ready to execute and coordinate a comprehensive plan that ensures a secure, orderly, and humane process at the border,” the senators wrote.
The senators said they have seen no evidence of any plan that would maintain a “humane and orderly process” if the government ends Title 42.a different wish Three days before Sinema and Kelly sent their letter, hundreds of migrants and supporters marched in downtown Nogales, Sonora, calling for an end to Title 42.
Under Title 42, the U.S. has expelled more than 1.7 million migrants, often into dangerous situations similar to why they left their homes, such as threats of violence, extortion and discriminatory rents and wages. The $1.5 trillion spending bill that became law on March 15 does contain more resources, including $150 million for the Emergency Food and Shelter Program to assist migrants, a 36% increase from last year. Locally and nationwide, migrant-aid organizations have been waiting for the federal government to come through with more funding to replenish dwindling resources.
